Julie Henderson is One of SI's Hottest Models

Bio

Julie Patrice Henderson was born in Katy, Texas on March 5, 1986. As you might imagine, someone as beautiful as she is didn't go very long before being discovered as a potential model, as by 13, she was already representing the Barbizon Modeling School of Texas. This then lead to starring in several local ads and commercials before being sought out by an even bigger modeling agency, New York Model Management, by age 16. She still managed to graduate from Katy High School before moving to France in order to join Ford Models.

Eventually, Julie moved back to New York City, where she began posing for the pages of fashion magazines such as Elle, Glamour, and Harper's Bazaar. In 2002, she was even named "overall professional female model of the year" at the Modeling Association of America International Convention. Accolades such as this only furthered the young models bountiful career, culminating in her first appearance in Sports Illustrated's coveted Swimsuit Issue in 2007. She has appeared in the annual issue every year since.

Julie has taken her modeling career to the next level in recent years by making her way onto television sets in ads for brands such as Pantene, Hardee's, and Jack in the Box. She's even gone on to debut a line of swimsuits in collaboration with the swimwear brand Basta Surf, a company with whom she often collaborates with for her SI shoots. She's also appeared as herself in a number of television series, including "Attack of the Show!" on numerous occasions, as well as "America's Next Top Model" and "Attack of the Celebrity Bikinis."
